The Inverted Spear of Heaven in Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most mysterious and devastating cursed tools in the series. Here's everything that’s known about its role and what happened to it.
What Is the Inverted Spear of Heaven?
The Inverted Spear of Heaven is a special-grade cursed weapon with a unique and terrifying ability — it can nullify any cursed technique, including Satoru Gojo’s nearly invincible Limitless and Infinity. That makes it a one-of-a-kind tool capable of turning the tide of battle against even the strongest sorcerers.
It was wielded by Toji Fushiguro, a legendary assassin who, despite having no cursed energy, was able to kill powerful jujutsu sorcerers using cursed tools like this one. During the Star Plasma Vessel arc, Toji used the Inverted Spear of Heaven to surprise and critically wound Gojo — something that shocked fans and characters alike.
What Happened to It?
After Toji Fushiguro’s death, the spear vanished. It was never recovered by the jujutsu sorcerers, and its current whereabouts remain unknown in the manga. This has caused considerable concern, especially considering how dangerous it is.
Some characters, like Gojo, were keenly aware of how much of a threat the spear posed. There were even discussions about possibly using it to open the Prison Realm and free Gojo after he was sealed during the Shibuya Incident, but since no one knew where it was, that plan couldn’t move forward.
Theories About Its Fate
- Destroyed After Use: Some fans speculate that the spear might have been destroyed after Toji’s death, though this hasn’t been confirmed.
- Hidden by Toji: Others think Toji may have hidden it somewhere before his final battle or that it was claimed by someone unknown.
- In Possession of a Villain: Given its power, there’s a strong chance that a dangerous figure or organization might have taken it to use for their own goals.
Why It Matters Now
The Inverted Spear of Heaven still looms as a critical element in Jujutsu Kaisen’s lore. Since it’s the only known weapon to completely shut down Limitless, fans are keeping an eye out for any hints of its return — especially now that Gojo has become such a central figure again in the later arcs.
Its last confirmed use was when Toji used it to pierce Gojo during their battle, which was a key moment in Gojo’s development and transformation into the strongest jujutsu sorcerer. But since then, its absence has left a powerful void — one that could re-emerge in a huge way depending on where the story heads next.
